Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness?

That would be great, except in the US, that exclusivity can last for decades, which means entire generations will come and go before it becomes public.
In a better-regulated system where consumers are put before corporate interests, it could work, but the US hasn't been that for a long time.

I don’t intend to be dead in the bext 50 years.

It’s not just cosmetic. Hair keeps the heat from escaping the head so quickly and, more importantly, it helps keep the head from getting sunburned and skin cancer.
-
When my head is freezing and I don’t have a hat handy I’m pretty sure that’s not a cosmetic issue.
-
I’m with you but I would like the option honestly since I’ve been bald for over 30 years. Never having a bad hair day and razors being cheaper than haircuts are definitely a plus. But hitting your head on anything is almost always some sort of gash.
But damn if I don’t have dreams sometimes of running my fingers through my hair.

I think people forget that not all populations benifit from more hair
-
They didn't and this doesn't work as intended. They did however create a company to cash in on desperate people.
-
the baldies are next.
Ugh, finally...
-
In a small percentage of people, and I was among those. It's not permanent, because finasteride increases testosterone, which can convert to estrogen
-
So true. Haired people don't realise that their haircut is a helmet.
-
It depends how shiny you want to keep it.
I do mine every 3 days, but it's quality podcast time.
Razor blades cost pennies. So cheap.
-
I think this is pretty standard procedure no? Lots of small companies are spin-outs from universities
-
This is always the answer.

If the topic is undesired head hair loss, "bad" appropriately describes the genes that may contribute to that. The discussion is limited by the context to avoiding hair loss, it isn't a universal conversation on cosmetics

I rocked long hair from grade school to my mid 20s.
Then, a lady friend (platonic) sat me down and had a talk with me.
The thinning, now seemingly always greasy, strands of hair was not a good look. Like, don't visit a playground or I would be arrested on site lol.
So, being a metal head there are two main options, or at least were at the time. Long hair. Or take bare clippers to it.
So, I did.
That first winter fucking suuuucked. Still to this day, I tend to rock a hoody in cold weather, and toss my hood up to cover my head for warmth when outdoors.
Sometimes I let it grow out for about a month before taking clippers to it again, out of sheer laziness. A month of growth, from shaved, isn't much in the way of hair, but temperature wise it is very noticeable.
-
I think 95% of people would look better bald than holding on to thinning hair.
I shave daily because I like it smooooth, but it only takes a few minutes in the shower. -
It just means you have too much testosterone.
-
Reminds me of the time Vivek Ramaswamy bilked investors for millions with a phoney Alzeheimer's drug
-
Same here, I had white boy dreads until one day you realize it looks better to cut it all off then trying to make it look like something it’s not.

Baldness doesn't need to be "cured". There are many many actual diseases where people need real help. Unfortunately capitalism completely degrades and perverts science/technology in order to make a quick buck, rather than actually helping humanity escape impending doom.
